Human medicine

The training of future doctors is a great responsibility, therefore our goal is that the center of this training is the understanding of the patient in their entirety, recognizing that we are not isolated beings, rather we are part of a family and a social environment.

It all starts with recognizing in the patient a human being who is not only a set of tissues, organs and systems, but is a being that transcends and whose dignity must be respected at all times.

It is our duty to contribute to the improvement and search for well-being in the common home through medical professionals who transform their environment.

OSCE for medical internship

The OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is an assessment methodology progressively implemented at the School of Human Medicine, beginning in the third year of studies, within the framework of courses offered by the Department of Clinical Medicine. This sequence culminates in the OSCE for medical internships, a high-impact summative assessment administered at the end of the program, which allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the future physicians' professional performance. Through 12 practical stations, distributed across the areas of medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and gynecology, theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, medical-surgical procedures, patient communication, and decision-making under pressure are assessed in a safe, controlled, and as realistic an environment as possible. This multidisciplinary assessment fosters the development of technical and interpersonal skills, promotes reflection on clinical practice, and is complemented by deferred feedback sessions.

Annual Exam

Our students complement their learning process through the Annual Medical Exam that UDEP has implemented with the purpose of validating the progressive integration of the knowledge acquired in all courses, year by year, from the training of basic medical sciences to the incorporation of the clinical concepts. The exam modality is written, multiple choice and the questions are formulated, for the most part, from clinical cases published in peer-reviewed medical journals. This exam is taken at the end of each academic year by all students from the first to the sixth year of the degree.

Research assistantships

Our students participate in research and experimental development (R&D) activities in a real environment through research assistantships, which are carried out in the faculty's laboratories, its hospital headquarters and/or in the places provided in a research protocol. In this way, you are experientially introduced to the world of scientific research at the highest level.

Comprehensive Student Assessment

The Faculty of Human Medicine promotes the holistic development of its students through the Comprehensive Student Assessment (CSA), an evaluation system aligned with the program's objectives and competency-based training. This system considers not only academic performance but also the development of clinical skills, critical thinking, professional attitude, and ethical commitment. This approach aims to train physicians with a strong foundation in knowledge, but also with empathy, responsibility, and teamwork skills, prepared to face the challenges of medical practice with a humanistic and holistic perspective.
